Yero, who became governor in 2012 after the death of Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa, recently obtained nomination forms to seek election in 2015.
It was alleged that top party leaders want to replace Yero with a candidate from Southern Kaduna to complete the tenure of late Yakowa and was under growing pressure to heed to the request of the party.
But in a reaction through his media aide, Ahmed Maiyaki, the governor faulted the report saying he is qualified to run for any elective office and his intention to seek election won’t be threatened by “mischief makers”.
“The governor is not under pressure to step down for anybody. These are speculations by mischief makers aimed at confusing the people. The governor is eligible to seek re-election and the party has allowed level playing field for all contestants. He has obtained nomination forms for the governorship race and there is no going back,” he said.
